What customers say
A chilled-out eco-campsite in a lovely rural spot. Close to Coverack village/beach. Reviewers liked the friendly staff, big pitches, and clean facilities (composting loos, hot showers). It's a great base for coastal walks.

Awesome pitch!
Main Field powered grass and gravel site
Liked A super cool camping spot! The toilets and showers were very good and the walk to the beach was lovely. We had a lovely little robin pop by our camp every now and then and we were lucky enough to see bats showing off as it got dark, couldn’t have had a nicer time😊

Main Field powered grass and gravel site
Liked Everything! Super relaxed and quiet campsite, the best maintained compost toilets I’ve ever used and Sam the manager is very friendly and helpful. There’s a really nice undercover bit with picnic benches, kettle, freezer etc and easy to use mutual spaces like showers and washing up station. It was nice without different broadcast music going off and campfires in hired fire pits are allowed as well as acoustic music. Doggies very welcome and we had an excellent time 😊
Disliked Nothing!

Anonymous Celtic Pod safari tent (four person)
Liked Wonderful location, so close to the beach. Staff greeted us upon arrival and were nothing but lovely. Facilities on site exceeded expectations, showers are warm, toilets are clean!! Amazing value for money!! Safari pod tent was clean, housed us well and was in good condition, it was actually bigger on the inside than we expected! Would recommend

Not for me
Main Field powered grass and gravel site
Liked Location and relaxation of the site. Despite having no reception or greeting communication was OK from the owner
Disliked Very basic facilities and the eco toilets where you smell and visibility look at other people's faeces in the toilet. Then have minimal hand-wash facilities, bars of soap and 5 second showers at the end of the day.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our peaceful location, but we are sorry the facilities did not meet your expectations.
As a dedicated basic eco-campsite, as advertised, our facilities are designed specifically to minimize environmental impact, including our timed, water-saving showers. We pride ourselves on the overall cleanliness of our facilities, our attention to detail, and the high level of care we put into the campsite. Our composting toilets with urine separation are cleaned regularly, with regular waste disposal and ample supplies of sawdust always available for guest use.
We do try to outline these eco-features clearly in our listing so guests know exactly what to expect before booking.
